In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, unflavored whey protein powder, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients while mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a ball, then poke a hole in the center of each ball with your thumb, stretching it to form a bagel shape.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Add each bagel to the boiling water (2-3 at a time to avoid overcrowding) and boil them for about 1 minute on each side.
Remove the boiled bagels with a slotted spoon and place them on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
Brush the top of each bagel with egg white, then sprinkle the mixed seeds evenly over the bagels, pressing gently so they adhere.
Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
